This sound is great on your Elkavox! What a beautiful sounding accordion...You play this polka with so much energy and vitality! It's a very good performance and the ending sounds fine to me...You were going to play all night, I suppose? Hugs, Fran
@AccordionLadyMi Thank you Fran, I really love this polka, I have it on my Foster and Allen Christmas cd and when I first heard it, I thought, I must learn to play it, I find its a real feel good tune to play. Oh, and as for playing all night, well, that has been known to pretty much happen once or twice in my younger day lol !!
@alainhammond Thank you so much my dear friend Alain, I find this tune is a feel good tune, it gives one a great feeling when playing it. My boys tell me I look like Santa Clause now I'm getting grey,so I may as well wear the hat lol !!
@myaccordionhistory Thank you Leon for Your Kind words, I Don't know about a tough act to follow, listening to you playing, I'd say I can learn a heck of a lot from you !!
A great polka, Nick, with marvelous playing & bright, catchy, mellifluous sounds flowing from your grand accordion! The only thing missing is the appearance of Santa's reindeer, but I got the distinct impression that as soon as the song ended you might ascend quite spectacularly right up to the rooftops to begin the airborne journey leading to gift giving! But your music alone is a sufficient gift, worth enjoying for its sheer magic to perk up our holiday ears with seasonal atmosphere*********
@FromHolbergsTime Thank you Glenn for your kind and humorous comments, its quite possible that I might ascend, but it would more than likely be on the end of one of my neighbours boots for making too much noise with my accordion lol. Any way I'm pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to listen.
Very nice Nick, the tempo is perfect and your version is so easy on the ears. (and there were no mistakes as far as I am concerned, just an improvised accidental for musical decoration!)
@ImaLanger Thank you Mike, I must remember how you put that, sounds way better than how I said it . Thats like me trying to tell everyone that I'm not a dustman, but a waste disposal technition lol!!
@NancyMbWpg Thanks Nancy, I had real difficulty with this one and my timing went all to pot at the end, guess I'm just going to have to keep on practising it lol.
@Wildrover434 Hello Nick --I didn't notice anything that drew my attention at the end --oh now I get it --this is a way for us to go back and listen to it again just to see if we can hear anything off ---;-] and it gives you double views --Good Idea ! Nope !--still don't hear anything a miss ! Take Care !! ;-]
Hello Nick,you have done a wonderful job with The Christmas Polka. I used to play rythym guitar for a friend with a button Hohner accordion,we played at local events etc. and this was one of his favorite songs.I have not heard it for years.I really enjoyed it,thanks for sharing.
WOW!! This is so upbeat and wonderful. You have done a wonderful job of this song on your accordion. If this don't give you the Christmas spirit, I don't know what will. Absolutely love it. Thanks so much for sharing. Gwen
@cadjunk Thank you Gwen, you are very kind, I've been listening to my Foster and Allen cd playing this one over and over for the last three days trying to get it into my head lol. Any way I'm really pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for your visit.
@Wildrover434 Well, you did wonderful Nick. It would have taken me 6 months and I still probably would not get it. Keep up your wonderful work. We have a friend, Allen, that plays accordion with us in our little garage group, and I love the sound, even with the bluegrass sound - it sounds wonderful. Gwen
Nice all my very best wishes. Thanks
